The Timing is All

In the post-World Trade Center era, the timing could be right for a strategic partnership formed between biometric fingerprint recognition system developer SecuGen Corp. and online payment systems company TouchCredit Financial Services Inc. aimed at launching the world's first cardless credit payment system. Under this agreement, Milpitas, Calif.-based SecuGen's core fingerprint recognition technology will be integrated into Marina Del Rey, Calif.-based TouchCredit's proprietary biometric payment system allowing consumers to purchase online products and services securely without the vulnerability of credit cards. Together, the two hi-tech firms aim to boost online consumer spending and confidence by making it more convenient and secure to shop on the web with the new cardless line of credit protected by biometric technology by integrating SecuGen's fingerprint recognition system, which includes a biometric keyboard and biometric mouse, into TouchCredit's advanced online payment system to authenticate users.
